I have a media release ready but I'll hold off for now so I don't get a life ban from the club ...

Okay let's narrow it down - by lesser clubs I really mean Woodville - West Torrens Eagles, Peckers, Warriors!

And that other club that couldn't win a flag until the SANFL became a feeder league, let's not forget them.

My comment would be well done to Glenelg and let the guy have a go.Too many people on this forum delight in being shit stirrers which only reflects on their own negativity.Good luck to the Bays

Anyway, congrats to Nick and all the best.

Geezus, if only it did come down to posts on this site, I wouldn't be losing girlfriends on a fortnightly basis!

With Stevens appointed at Glenelg I would rank the appointed coaches this years as:
1. Gotch - Significant AFL experience which is what South were chasing. Gave up a really good role he was currently in to take it on.
2. Mickan - Not far behind. Proven to be a quality SANFL coach and clearly miles in front of Massie. Experienced and proven, but may also have been a bit of an easy option to go to. Hope he was convincing with his future plans.
3. Stevens - based on Glenelg's media release (biased I know) they seem impressed by his TAC cup involvement and his duties at Richmond. Hope they have not been sucked in to hiring a coach because he was a good player.
4. Mcgregor - Only one year at Port but had a pretty good squad to work with. Other clubs have been quick to chase many of these players and there are 12-15 quality players amongst them. Didn't think he did any better than Bamford in his time there and Ken's coaching CV is a bit skinny apart from Magpies role.

Not much between 1 & 2 but would have them clearly ahead of others IMHO.

The Gays have the stand out mini league coach, he's super qualified :lol:
This bloke was so smart he walked out on all the hard work that he and his mates put in for years, couldn't see the Flag on offer the next season, walked into a dead end situation with a club on it's knees ....... smart man!
And how's this guy an upgrade on the last? Anyone want to get their hands dirty?
Only GFC could pass up experienced local older types for a Victorian Turncoat chasing credibility.
the bloke suffered a neck injury that threatened both his career and mobility, then returned to play good afl footy, i reckon he's got credibility ticked.
He worked under hardwick at richmond, a former glenelg player and respected afl coach, who no doubt was listed as a credible reference. I think that puts him ahead of massie who fell into the league job.
And if you saw the flag going power's way in 04, I'm sure you are happily retired now given the life savings you had on them at the juicy pre-season odds on offer.
Truth is, I don't even chuckle at your insecurity anymore. And yes, I used to.

Far from being a troll, I hope and believe that beenreal is completely genuine in his delusions.

Getting massacred in AFL grand finals better than everyone else; digging deep financial holes and needing help to crawl out of them better than everyone else; running down the team and the comp that was always the bedrock of the Port Adelaide Football Club's achievements, better than everyone else; disconnecting itself from the local community and closing up shop on junior development, and so starving its SANFL reserves (and ultimately league) team of talent, better than everyone else.

Talented kids growing up a drop punt from Alberton Oval will be playing their U/16 and U/18 football for whom? Not Port, that's for sure.

don't forget to explain what you were doing on the grassy knoll as well ...

wall to wall Crows and Port matches coming to a 7-Mate near you ... yawn

Yeah because the whole world simply loves sitting down to watch a Saturday afternoon Blockbuster between South and West at Noarlunga, played in front of 2 men and a dog. :roll:



Yes, there will be 2 men there, but you wont be.

Not surprised Centrals aren't supplying any players because I don't think they've got any left!

So have we worked out who's dick's bigger yet?

The Bays have beaten the Dogs for the signature of former Carlton player Aaron Joseph...

He must be close to a life ban with all his suspensions

Musnt be otherwise he would have gone to the Eagles who have their own rules.

South dominated the 1890's with 6 flags wouldn't that make everyone after that a copy?

Personally I think flags won before federation have far greater weight to them and everything after is just so cheap and nasty after the colonies sold there soul to federalism!!!!

Glenelg have picked up a beauty with former Hawthorn forward Mitch Thorp signing with the club...

JK wrote:Bays are certainties this year

What about 2014?

Mitch Thorp should dominate in the SANFL with the Tigers, he is avery good player...


What is the salary cap in the SANFL at the moment? I assume Glenelg would be paying these guys between 30-35k each, so between Joseph, Thorp, Lonergan, Stark thats probably $130 - $140k.

Mitch Thorp is taking on a playing/coaching role, so I would think his coaching payments are outside the cap.

Nope. If coach is playing all football related salary counts against the cap.

Wowee, salary cap advice from a Redleg :shock:

Thanks Spermy, much appreciated.

So recruit your arse off, pay top dollar in the process, risk getting caught cheating the cap, win the flag, then ask for forgiveness later.

Did I get it right?

Biggus dickus?

Crows have a new guernsey to wear against Port

Let me understand, you got the hen, the chicken and the rooster. The rooster goes with the chicken. So, who's having sex with the hen?

or clone this one ...

Great for SANFL as we now don't have to bail out Port and can beat the sh1t out of them as we have no vested interest like before.

League trial final score
Glenelg 16.4
Westies 12.14

IF that happens, then you've beaten the bottom side from last year ... big faarking deal.

Inadequate given the 10 weeks Scooter got 24 years ago and he was provoked through an off the ball incidents 5 mins before hand.

No I won't get over it!!!

Well there's a record I thought the Bays were certainties for ...

That was what happened to centrals yesterday :0

First point: you don't have to dislike all other teams. No probs with keeping an eye on the crows players being a keen crows member.
Second point: don't have to hate the crows being in the sanfl to be a true supporter. I go to all the bays games, wear my scarf every week, eat at the club most weeks, pay my membership, I think that's a pretty good effort.

Haters gonna hate.

Sounds like you are totally confused who you support....the Bays or the Crows reserves??? :shock:

No he is just a front runner.....

How the **** am I a ******* front runner? Although my team hasn't wins flag in my lifetime, and lost about 30 games out of the last 35 I still go every week, travel to any ground, where my scarf and barrack every week. Even used to be in a cheer squad I'm my younger years. Front runner my dick. Dumb comment.

Ok, so 4 pages in and I still have no idea how the game panned out.... Any chance of a run down??
The full time professionals won. The young centrals team was out run and out classed. We missed TC, thommo and Symes, will need these guys ASAP. Josh Glenn got Roy's best player, jarrod Schiller second best. Murray Stephenson coaches award for his debut game. McIntyre played well up forward, Gilbee and most others didn't do enough, we often kicked to an empty forward line.
There was no atmosphere when the crows kicked a goal. A lot of afl players got a lot of the ball, not sure about the three or so top up players.

Maybe you should try deleting his posts if you feel he is constantly taking threads off topic.

What's the point of having rules if all you want to do is lock a thread when a habitual troll is only interested in ...... Trolling
Hey guess what... That's another rule of the site isn't it, no trolling.

Come on Mods, do the right thing and get these idiots off the boards


Half the threads will be locked if they did that and that many posts would be deleted threads wouldn't make sense.

It's only a page or two ago that some ass clown said anyone who barracks for Port isn't a true SA football fan. Not sure if thats Pure troll or some mentally challenged muppet on a keyboard but at the end of the day I think you just have to laugh it off.

I find it hilarious the amount of people on the site who feel they have the right to tell people who, how and what they should support and how specific supporting can validate your legitimacy and right to be qualified to class yourself as a true supporter. IMO people are entitled to barrack for whoever they want, whenever they want.

I have a couple of mates who actually tell me "you are not allowed to barrack for the Crows"and get genuinely upset :roll: . So if Port aren't playing and they play a Vic/WA team I can't barrack for the Crows? I have gold Adelaide oval passes, my fiancé loves the Crows (she's not that bright) and we go to 8-10 games a year. I think that means I show more support to the Crows than I do to a lot of my over opinionated mates do their own band of beloved.

Sorry for getting off topic Mods but I just wanted to make a point and every time someone gets on here and talks up the Crows/Power reserves they don't deserve to have their integrity challenged.

Please discuss the game in this thread, any other conversation about the structure of the comp can be made in the whinge thread, thanks

Looking forward to getting along to my first Glenelg game for the season! Weather looks good and as mentioned, should be a very healthy crowd!

As for the game itself, sadly I expect the Crows to win by plenty. What I hope to see is a Glenelg team heading in the right direction. There were some ok patches last week, but that needs to be built on. By the way, there'll be no multi scarving from this Crows AFL supporter, in the SANFL I am very much Glenelg first.

After some debate with Admin/Mods and feedback from Members it has been decided to leave the Match preview/review threads for discussion about the match only, any debate about the AFL reserves teams can continue happily in the threads already running.

Any posts from now on that do not relate directly to the match will be considered off topic and deleted.

Hopefully this will stop every thread having this debate, while a worthy topic there needs to be some balance.

Thanks

I am so pissed off I missed this one... always a great atmosphere with a big crowd at the Bay.

Sounded like a total team effort, concerned about McGinty though, hope the knee isn't too bad.

Seemed like Tex was handy after a year out and pulled through OK.

Must have been a weird and awkward night for a few, from what I'm hearing a good turnout by Crows fans or maybe it was just confused Bay supporters in drag.

Your the expert, so fair enough :prayer:

Y O U ' R E

If port were also down the bottom like the crows I suspect this thread would be a whole lot shorter...

More than likely, but for mine it doesn't change the point that the competition now has 3 different sets of rules among the clubs, different Salary Cap and an inequitable draw. I try not to get drawn into the debate because it aint changing in a hurry, so no point banging on about it.

The agreement between the SANFL and AFL reserves is a claytons agreement. It is a 15 year agreement that can be made void by both parties with 12 months notice, why have a 15 year agreement, technically its a 12 month agreement if at anytime you can call it quits by either party. Secondly at the end of each year the conditions or guidlines can be reviewed and changed, which I dont think there is doubt in anyones mind this will happen at the end of thsi year.

Its unfortunate we talk about how the Power and Crows will become weaker due to injuries throughout the year. So as a bay supporter, should I wish that Boak brakes his leg, Schulz does a knee, Dangerfield brakes his arm and Sloane dislocates a shoulder so that my team can compete. This handicapped system they have tried to implement to counter the enormous salary cap, facilities and general fitness of AFL players. You need to compare teams in their strongest form as to see whether its fair or not, you cant be wishing the worst injuries for teams so your team is competitive as there is nothing saying these injuries will occur or not and cant be guaranteed, but thats what I am hearing.

It might be quite difficult for me to change teams mate, but I'll think about it. I won't just go making a split second decision to go and support another team though, it will take time.
Booney, I was surprised your profile hasn't already changed to show the Eagles as your SANFL team.
